Ive been prescribed fluoxetine for my anxiety. In the past ive tried other meds including citalopram and cymbalta but they made me really really ill, i was very scared to try another incase i had the same sort of reaction but i started yesterday. I thought it might help other people and myself if i keep a diary of the progress i am making.
Day 1
it took me ages to pluck up the courage to take my first tablet. I sat there with the box in front of me for ages. I decided i had nothing to lose, i would never know if i didnt try so i took my first one. I have to say that it was nowhere near as bad as i expected, yes it did make me feel a little 'weird' and i got a slight headache but that was it. I spent the day on the computer and doing various things around my home to take my mind off it, went to bed and had quite a good sleep.
day 2
woke up feeling really tired as usual and with bad tummy ache ( i had colitis last year so have a fragile tummy now) Warily got my children ready for nursery and school and let my hubby take them ( he does when hes off work ) Had to go into work this morning which was crap but i was only there for about an hour, im dreading tomorrow cause im working til 9.30pm and im training someone. My tummy has been really bad all day, i was in agony this afternoon so i went to the doctors yet again, its embarrassing cause all the receptionists know my name cause im there that often. Anyway was seen by the nurse and she said i have gastritis so now ive got this to go through as well as starting these new tabs and having fibro and costachondritis....its neverending, im sick of this none stop suffering i honestly cant remember the last day i had without pain.
Ive still got a slight headache but can tolerate it and i also feel really tired, im so looking forward to when these tablets start working but im scared incase i start having awful side effects...
